Kan Liang daefd0bc0b perf stat: Add support to measure SMI cost
Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost.

During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set.

The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and
two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT).

In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful
than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core
cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default.

SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf

Here is an example output.

 Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ':

SMI cycles%          SMI#
    0.1%              1

       0.010858678 seconds time elapsed

Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional
--no-metric-only.
